    Crazy! Just plain crazy! Order a medium pizza and offered large for cheaper! Me.... no thanks ill take the medium and pay more...... Shoulda just screamed mystery shopper down the phone! Pathetic and unrealistic results!

    Which is why we all accept the upsell, as it would look odd not to and we don't want to draw attention to ourselves. Never been questioned by the company.

    Just had it sent back to me refused when I accepted the upsell as medium order accepted only.... As I said... Crazy! And company also said they know its madness but its what the client wants.

    I've found their other projects to be fine, it's just whoever's counting the chickens that's peed me off.

    Having diplomatically told them my thoughts, I think I'll wait til after payday to see if I'm sacking them or not.

    The three big clients are ring fenced, put a bad report in about one of them and you get all sorts of queries.

    Yep the one with weird cuts lol accepted the upsell and refused it. Reshopping and paid for both but..... Makes me not want to do it again.

    I agree, I'm getting fed up with it. I'm moving to some newer companies now, taken my first jobs with retail maxim this week after joining 2 years ago and they seem quite nice and professional :D

    To be really honest from my point of view? I find monthly payments better and easier to manage lol I get confused as to what's been paid and I'm guaranteed to miss something twice monthly lol x

    I think because I've done a few high spend and then get reimbursed jobs for them, I've found two weekly payments were a good thing. Overall it isn't a problem though.

    Sounds about right, I had one to do tommorrow, I should have just told them the resturant was spotlessly clean, the staff grinning like cheshire cars and I was served in 4 seconds dead.

    But I'm honest, so I've just f****d em off!
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
